- 1. Organism: Give an example of a simple structure/function relationship pertaining to the human body. The structure/function relationship should be visible from the outside of the body (don’t use parts that are on the inside). Be sure your explanation includes a discussion of the structure, function, and the relationship between the two.- Jordan
- 2. Organ System: Pick a human organ system. Describe what role it plays in maintaining homeostasis. Also describe how it works with at least 2 other systems. (For example, the excretory system works closely with the circulatory system. The circulatory system brings blood to the kidneys, which are the main organ of the excretory system. The kidneys filter the blood, creating urea, which is then combined with water to create urine. The urine is then released form the body.)- aly
